Well, Team Le Mead shall be riding this road in memory of Steve…on BIKES! A 4 day, 300 mile cycling challenge will take place from September 5th – 8th and features an 18 strong Team Le Mead. This unique ride will see the team take on the Dolomite mountain region of the Alps and will see them reaching altitudes of 8000ft on road bikes conquering constant mountain climbs on days 2,3 and 4. The team will be cycling from Venice to Milan via Switzerland and day 2 of the ride includes a 15 mile climb up the Stelvio Pass in a challenge that dwarves last years L2P. And if that’s not enough, this route we are taking has NEVER been done before! The official Team donation site is WWW.JUSTGIVING.COM/LEMEAD2010

and all challenge information is on our website at WWW.LEMEAD.CO.UK

Please have a look at the pictures to see what awaits Team Le Mead as we embark on Le Mead’s toughest and biggest journey yet. Let these pictures be our way of showing you what we are taking on this year. As a Team we are asking you to sponsor us with anything you can afford as we again raise money for our partners, the Geoff Thomas Foundation.

The team have already started their intense training period in preparation of what will be an incredibly hard challenge as well as an emotional one as Smead was so keen to drive this road in his beloved Mitsubishi Evo.

Certainly reaching the top of the Stelvio Pass will bring a tear to the eye as we ride with Steve firmly in our minds. On 15th May it is a year since Steve passed away and I again thank all of you for your continued support to Team Le Mead and it is down to you all that we are raising such fantastic sums of money for charity in a bid to help other sufferers of this awful illness.

WWW.LEMEAD.CO.UK will have continued updates up to and during the challenge as well as news on this years Le Mead events. We are also now on Facebook under the name ‘Le Mead’ and on Twitter - @Le_Mead. Thank you all for your support and please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
